The wonderful folks at the show's PR firm and the network have passed along a description for "Welcome Wagon" (SPOILER FACTOR: Mild mystery of the week stuff and the season's first big mystery is officially revealed).

Meanwhile, Keith (Enrico Colantoni) runs into trouble while transporting a recently released convict across the country to reunite him with Kendall (guest star Charisma Carpenter, “Charmed”).
